Syria's offer to forfeit chemical weapons is laughable

A Russian ambassador mentions Syria giving up their chemical weapons control to the U.N., and the world decides it will all happen. Most likely not, but if so, when?

There is no proposal set out in writing, and Russia has already blocked a French proposal to let Syria know a military air strike will occur if it does not comply with an as-yet-unwritten agreement.

In my opinion, Bashar Assad is stalling to that he can use all the chemical weapons he needs to achieve military victory. After all, there has been no mention of destroying Syria's ability to produce more of this weapons of mass destruction.

So, the U.N. can have what's already made, and Russia can assist Syria in making more? What a farce, and a Russian sleight-of-mouth, on a global scale.
